Vageline, Director Planning and Zoning Department November 16, 2010 ITEM No. Subject: An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, amending the Land Development Code Section 20 -7.51 entitled "Special exceptions" in order to revise the wording in Section 20- 7.51(D) to replace the word "development" with the word "new construction" for the purpose of clarifying when the time limitation begins for development projects which have been granted a special exception in the Hometown Overlay Zone (HD -OV); providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date. BACKGROUND The City Commission at its September 7, 2010 meeting adopted Ordinance No. 26 -10 -2051 which revised the Special Exception regulations in the Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) zoning district. There was considerable concern that there were development projects in the Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) zoning districts which have received special exception approval from the City but failed to initiate construction and the sites have remained vacant. The amendment was necessary because a special exception granted for a project in the Transit Oriented Development District did not have an expiration date. During the review of the ordinance adding a time limit to the TODD special exceptions, it was agreed that the wording being carried over from a similar section in the Hometown District needed to have one word changed. It was felt that the word "development" was not appropriate since special exceptions could only be granted to new buildings. It was agreed to recommend that the word "development" be changed to "new construction ". The Board suggested that this same word change to "new construction" be placed in the similar Hometown section concerning special exceptions. PROPOSED LDC AMENDMENT It is proposed that the word "development" be changed to "new construction ", the same wording now in affect in the TODD special exception regulation (see attached ordinance). The following wording (shown in bold/underlined) would be added to Section 20- 7.51(D): HOMETOWN DISTRICT OVERLAY Section 20 -7.51 Special exception. "(D) Special exceptions, if granted, shall be valid if lepn new construction as defined in Section 380.04, Florida Statutes, commences within twenty-four (24) months from the date offinal approval and is substantially completed within five (5) years from the date of issuance of the first building permit. The time for substantial completion may be extended by the city commission upon application filed prior to the expiration of the substantial completion period and upon demonstration of good cause.

BACKGROUND The City Commission at its September 7, 2010 meeting adopted Ordinance No. 26 -10 -2051 which revised the Special Exception regulations in the Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) zoning district. The amendment was necessary because a special exception granted for a project in the Transit Oriented Development District did not have an expiration date. There was considerable concern that there were development projects in the Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) zoning districts which have received special exception approval from the City but failed to initiate construction and the sites have remained vacant. The adopted ordinance used the same language that already was in effect for special exceptions within the Hometown Overlay District (HD -OV) which have received special exception(s) approval. Attached is a copy of the City Manager's report (dated 8 -3 -10) on the subject and the adopted ordinance. The Planning Board recommended approval of the ordinance at its June 15, 2010 meeting, after a public hearing. During that hearing it was recommended by several members that the Hometown District regulations needed a minor adjustment in order to clarify exactly when the time period would expire. The Board was advised that the ordinance under consideration at that time did not refer to the Hometown Overlay zoning district. Staff recommended that a follow -up ordinance be brought back to the Board at a later meeting. EXISTING LDC REGULATIONS As stated above the Hometown Overlay District (HD -OV) allows special exceptions (i.e. variances) to be granted for development projects after public hearings by the Planning Board and City Commission. The regulations also require that development must be started within two years and completed within five years. This provision (Section 20 -7.51) in the Hometown Overlay District reads as follows: HOMETOWN DISTRICT OVERLAY Section 20 -7.51 Special exception. "(D) Special exceptions, if granted, shall be valid if development, as defined in Section 380.04, Florida Statutes, commences within twenty-four (24) months from the date of final y comp e e wt an ave years om t o ate o tssuance o the first building permit.

Action: Mrs. Young read the item into the record. Planning Board Meeting September 23, 2010 Page 2 of 2 Mr. Youkilis informed the Board that the City Commission previously approved a change in one of the sections of the Land Development Code in the Transit Oriented Development District to make sure there is a time limit for the development approvals to be constructed. In the TODD district there wasn't any time limit stated. This has been changed in by ordinance at the City Commission. Now, the same wording is being proposed for special exceptions in the Hometown District. This will make the two portions of the LDC match. The Chair opened the public hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE PROJECT Sharon McCain Oppose Ms. McCain questioned if the item affects 64 development or the bank. Mr. Youkilis responded no. This is due to the fact that the 64 Development Corporation has a twelve year development agreement with the City and the bank has a development agreement of eight years. Mrs. Yates commented that if this item affects any development they need to be notified. Ms. McCain questioned if a development was changed after this has been enacted would the developer have to return. Mrs. Yates responded yes. The Chair closed the public hearing. Mrs. Young commented that the word draft should be removed from page two. Mr. Whitman questioned if the wording with the TODD and Hometown Overlay would now be identical. Mr. Youkilis responded yes. Motion: Mr. Cruz moved to approve the application with the changes that draft is removed and use the word as indicated above. Mrs. Young seconded.
